Whatever happened to his good old threat of MS13? He always used to be going on about them as a gang of Mexican criminals who were coming to the U.S. to commit atrocities (when in reality they are a U.S. based gang who is generally more concerned about their gang related businesses than hunting down random white…

Is Trump really that fucking stupid, or is he knowingly pretending to clamp down on an organization that doesn’t exist in order to look tough in front of his monstrously stupid fans?

Agreed. If it’s a perceived threat to trump himself, then it’s a simplistic label to give him and his supporters something to target. See all the infantile names he calls his political opponents. Truly dumb, but here we are. Literally, here is where pure stupidity, generations of it, has gotten us. 

Pretty sure that's attempted murder.

Given that they’re out there committing literal war crimes...

It’s infuriating but not at all surprising that the president is going to label these guys as a terrorist group. And of course there will be no classification as such for Proud Boys dorks. I’m here in Columbus right now and both groups showed up but it wasn’t either of them that was the problem.

ANTIFA should just rename itself to Very Fine People.

“a political stance against far-right violence, white supremacy, and fascism.”

Based on the events of the last 24 hours, as well as the past century or so, seems to me like the cops are the terrorists.

Yeah I mean this isn’t great but it’s far from the worst reaction. Jezebel writers’ reflexive negativity isn’t hitting the way it used to. This isn’t snarky, it’s just desperate fault-finding.

Yeah.  I’m not that mad at this.  I think she’s coming from a sincere place, and it’s modern interpretative dance - certainly that medium doesn’t speak to everyone. 

It’s kinda lame but if you are an artist you’ll process things through art. I’m not going to get mad at white people for being sad. Everyone with a heart is sad rn. 

The writers are basically trolling us now. Times are tough. Hot takes increase rage clicks. That’s the only thing I can think of. It’s easy to romanticize the past, but holy shit has the quality of this blog gone downhill. 

“No offense to electoral politics, but—actually, wait. No. Full offense to electoral politics!!!! Telling people to respond to state-sponsored racist violence by registering to vote so that they can participate in an election five months from now is fucking useless, Gagá!”

It makes me complete sense. I don’t know what the author of this post is trying to prove under than the stoke indignation among the commentariat/increase click-views. 

Seriously. What the hell is going on with this site? Gaga is looking at the big picture. What a fucked up thing to criticize right now — you can support the Minnesota Freedom Fund *and* register to vote.

The protests and riots are short-term. Voting has long-term consequences. Maybe don’t police people’s reactions, or know that there’s several things that can be done (and none of them are wrong), but don’t be so short-sighted.

Finally, Porsha is useful!

Why is getting people registered to vote “fucking useless?” It might not be the most satisfying, immediate solution, but it is an important part of the entire picture here.
